'lO ALL WH-OM-IT MAY CONGERN:

Beit known that LLJOHN WAGNEPL, of' Cumberland, in the count-y ofAlleghany, and vState of Maryland, have inventeda new and improvedDinner-Kettle; and I do hereby declare that thje following is a full,clear, and exact description thereof, which will enable ,theseskilled inthe art to makev and use the same, reference being had to theaccompanying drawings, formingpart of this specification. I V lThisvinvention relates to a new and' improved dinner-kettle, andit'eonsists in a peculiar'-eonst1u'ction of the same, as hereinafterfully shon'n and described, whereby. a greater number of compartmentsare obtained than usual, and the di'erent kinds of food kept separatefrom eachother.

'.lrhe accompanyingdrawing represents an cleration of my invention,partly in section. A B C D represent four cups of cylindrical form, ofany suitable dimensions, and each provided or formed with a ange, e b,

'at its top and bot-tono. *These flanges project out horizontally fromthe cups, themppenlanges a extending` outwardwfrom the tops oi theirsides, and thevlower ones, b, extending outwarda short distance abovethe bottoms c of the cups, the sidescf the cups below the flanges binclining inward, so that lthe bottom and lower part of one cup may titin the top of the one underneath, the-lower ange, Z, of the'upper cupresting on the top ange, a, of the one underneath, as shown clearlyinthe drawing.v

The bottom cup D, as'. it-does not fit in4 any eup'underneath, may havea .cylindrical form its entire height.` To the lower cup D, a bail orhandle, E, `is attached by rivets c, which pass through the upper endsof lugs or ears-d, secured to th'e lower cup D at opposite sidesthereof'. l This bail extendsyorer the top cup A, and has a pin, e,projecting from caeh'side of it lto fit into perforated elastic plates FF, attached te opposite sides of the top cup A. By this arrangement theseveral cups are allretained'in position, seeiired together, so that`they eannotbecome casually detached.

'lhe top cup A is snpplied with a nozzle and stopper, and is designedfor holding a liquid-codec, tea, milk, or other drinlt-and bathe-central'part of the top of A there is secured a ehamber,'a to vhold salt,pepper, &c., said chamber being covered by a drinking-cup, G. i

i. It .will be seen that by this improvement, several different hindsoffood may-be kept separate from eaehl other, each being contained in n.separate cup or compartment; and'it will further be 'seen that, bypressing outward the platos F so as to-release the' pins e from `them,the, top cdp maybe removed, and the others below it, without any troubleor d iic'ulty what-ever. i i I I I 'claim -aspnew, and desire to secureby Letters Patent- I A dinner-kettle', composed of a series of cups orvessels, fitted one within the other, and connected together by the bailand suitable' catches, inthe manner substantially as herein shown anddesM-ibcd.v l i v 'JOHN WAGNER.
